34 years of serving Central Texas!
About Us
Our Goal
We offer a unique approach to taking care of you and your car:
It is our desire to build a relationship with you while we strive to provide you with high standard service. We believe that quality and value are important, but we want you to know that you are our priority as well.
Our mechanics are skilled at what they do and are also car enthusiasts-we believe that our passion and reliability are what keep customers coming back to see us.
Who We Are
TCS was opened in 1991, and we have always felt that we could offer something special to the Central Texas Area. Even after more than 30 years, we find that we are still a bit of a hidden gem but we enjoy what we do and we do it well. Our honesty and integrity, along with good customer service are very important to us and we do our best to provide quality work at a reasonable price. We are a tried and true family business with deep roots in Temple, and we strive to treat everyone who walks through our front door as a friend.
Our Team
Neil
An ASE certified Master Technician for more than 25 years, Neil is a gearhead to the bone. Fully committed to the success of this shop, he is your go-to man when you have an automotive issue that seems out of reach. Neil has a deep passion for cars and performance-he has been building and improving his own hot rods since 1982, and opened the shop with his wife in 1991.
Daryl
Danger Daryl has been keeping things fun at the shop for almost 15 years, and the shop wouldn't be the same without him! He is experienced and knowledgeable in the automotive field and is an awesome fabricator.
Calli
Calli is our Office Manager and Service Writer, bridging the connection between our mechanics, the office, and you! She oversees our website/social media, works on invoicing and parts orders, and takes care of behind-the-scenes work. Calli is Neil and Jacque's oldest daughter, and is trying her best to carry on Jacque's legacy at the shop right now!
Sean
Sean is our Shop Helper and Mechanic Intern-he is here learning the ropes from Neil & Daryl, and working hard to help around the shop!
Remembering Jacque
Jacque passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by family, in early March 2025. She was living with Stage IV Cancer for two years, and she did so gracefully. She has been Neil's wife, business partner, and best friend since they met in high school, and our family (and shop family) will never be the same without her. We miss her dearly, and cherish any shared stories about her! She made our lives so bright and we will strive to carry on her love and kindness everyday.
*****
We also would like to recognize and voice appreciation for everyone in this community who has supported, checked on, fed, and comforted our family (and so much more!) while we try our best to live with the heavy grief of losing our Matriarch. The patience and kindness we have received is monumental. We love each and every one of you.
